BALlNG-PRESS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 440,790, dated November18, 1890.

Application filed March 1, 1888. Serial No. 265,852. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER K. DEDERIOK, of Iioudonville, in the county ofAlbany and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Baling-Press Frames; and I do herebydeclare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thisspecification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My improvements relate to that class of presses in which the bales areformed in sections by a reciprocating traverser, the loose materialbeing fed into the press-box in sue-- cessive charges and each chargepressed against the material previously pressed, and more particularlyrelates to such of these presses as are operated by horses moving in acircle rotating a horse-lever at one end of the baling-case around thehorse-power. In all of such presses heretofore the baling-case andhorse-power ends of the machine have been connected by a timber securedthe one end to the baling-case and the other end to the horse-power. sothat the power connected passes over it or under it, as also do thehorses in operating it.

My improvement consists in an iron pipeconnection between thebaling-case and horsepower ends of the machine, spanning or extendingacross the horse circuit or track, as hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings,Figure 1 is a plan or top view. Fig. 2 is aside elevation.

Similar letters of reference in both figures indicate the same parts.

Ais a baling-case, which may be of the ordinary style, and which Ipreferably construct from steel or iron plate.

O is the feed-opening.

B is the power end of the frame, which may be adapted to the bearings ofany power device.

C is the iron pipe-connection between the press and power ends of theframe, and extending across the track traveled by the horses. Thispipe-connection may be attached to the ordinary press -case, constructedof wood,if desired; but I have shown it attached to case A, constructedfrom plate steel or iron,

flanged down at F to connect with the pipe 0, to which it is firmlysecured either by bolts or rivets, as shown in Fig. 1, or a casting orother piece of metal may be secured to the end of the press-case, asshown in Fig.2, and the pipe 0 screwed into or otherwise secured to it,so that the case A and connection G are firmly secured together. Theother end of the connecting-pipe O is screwed into or otherwise securedto the power end B, which latter may be constructed of suitable form forthe power and horse lever bearings, and the power of the horses istransmitted to the traverser at the press-case end, across the circuitor track traveled by the horses, through the inside of pipe G,the latterprojecting and covering all moving parts crossing the horsetrack, thuspreventing intimidation of the horses, and also obviating bridging forthe horses to cross the connection between the press-case and power endsof the frame, as the single small iron pipe requires but a moderate stepof "the horse to pass over. Moreover, the connection between the pressand power ends maybe much smaller and lighter if the power istransmitted through it instead of over or under.

Any suitable power device may be employed, and for illustration I haveshown in Fig. 2 a crank I-I, pitman I, and staff D, extending throughthe pipe 0 and attached to the pressing-traverser.

K is the horse-lever attached to the crankshaft H, the end of said leverwhen in operation being rotated around the horse-power, crossing thepipe 0 close to the press-case.

The baling-case should be provided with retainers, tying-partitions, andother wellknown appliances common to this class of presses, and whichrequire no further description here.

I am aware that abaling-press frame and a horse-power frame extendingpast the horse track or circuit have heretofore been braced apart foroperation by means of a trough or box through which the power-chainspass; but such is not a part of a baling-press frame, but rather part ofthe staying-fixtures, by means of which the frames of two separatemachines are braced and staked for opera tion. Neither do I claim boxingover the power-connections to forma, bridge for the horses posite endsof the iron pipe 0, extending to cross on. across the track or travel ofthe horse, as and Having thus described my invention, What for thepurpose set forth. I claim as new is I PETER K. DEDERIOK. In anend-circle horse-power baling-press frame, the baling-case andhorse-pewer ends thereof connected by and secured to the 0p- Witnesses:
